Ever wondered if you could measure the Earth’s radius with something other than fancy-schmancy equipment? Well, grab your Legos and a friend, because it turns out our planet’s circumference can be calculated using your childhood toys! Who knew that playing with bricks could be a gateway to geodesy?

Imagine telling your pals you’ve scientifically proven the size of the Earth with nothing but a phone, a couple of Legos, and that one friend who still doesn’t know how to build anything without instructions. It’s pretty wild to think our globe is a set of building blocks away from being accurately measured, but hey, maybe we’ve been overthinking this whole science thing!

Next time you hear "Let’s save the planet," just reply, "I’ll do it after I finish this Lego project!"

With just a friend, a phone, and a few Lego bricks, you can accurately measure the size of our planet.
